Turkey gets first Christian TV station

Its begun broadcasting on the government-regulated Türksat 4A satellite meaning it can now reach more than 50 million viewers across the country as well as other Turkish speaking viewers around the world.

Executive Director Melih Ekener has expressed his delight at the development. He said: "We are overwhelmed and truly believe it is a miracle that we can finally broadcast on Türksat.

"We have hoped, dreamed and prayerfully anticipated this launch since the station began airing on SAT-7 ARABIC in 2006.

"It is really a miracle and we are very thankful to God for what he has been doing."

"This would not have been possible without the Turkish authorities taking the time and interest to engage with Christians and accept our applications, granting us a frequency on the official state satellite. We praise God for this moment.

"We rejoice in the decision of the Turkish authorities and join all Turkish Christians in giving thanks for this historic development."

The channel is part of a wider SAT-7 network which launched in 1996, with an international headquarters in Cyprus. It broadcasts Christian satellite television to an audience of over 15 million people in the Middle East and North Africa.
